An A>:Oui.hed Literary Critic.

A novel writer Of my acquaintance
some years ago was writing short stories
for u New York magazine, and was on
very intimate terms with its owner and
editor The latter was a bright, enter
prising fellow, somewhat conceited and
imbued with the belief that he WAS born
to shine in the literary armament. One
day he handed a manuscript to the novelist
with the remark that it was the first pro-
ductiOn of a beginner in story writing and
he should like an impartial opinion Of its
merits. The novelist took it and read it,
though it was very tough reading. He
returned it 10 the editor, saying: 1T is a
very crude affair, not worth printing, in
my Judgment. but there are CLEANS of
reason in it at rare intervals should
say that the author might be declared
sane, though have my doubts even about

proprietor. But he was generous; he
never mentioned the subject to his crude
critic, but treated him even more kindly
than before. e.-Pittsburg DISPATCH.

THE CROPS,

Reports from various parts of the coun-
ty show that already great damage has
been done to the growing crops by the
chinch bugs. Never before have they
been so plentiful or their ravasea
so extensive at this time of the
year. The dry weather of last fall and
this spring has favored their develop
ment, and they are on hand in a great
many places in large numbers. Many
fields of wheat and barley have been
entirely ruined, and those that are now
untouched are liable to be invaded at
any time. After the small grains are out
of the way the little pests are liable to
turn theirlattention to the corn fields and
make them a scene of desolation.
The chinch bug is hard enemy to fight
successfully. Many farmers are cutting
the grain for hay, in fields attacked by
them. It is recommended to plow three
or four furrows around the field to pro-
tect them from the bugs. Plow the fur.
rows deep and with edges as sharp and
steep as possible. The chineh bugs are
not good climbers and are apt to become
discouraged after getting over one o,
two of the fnrrows and give up their
attempt on the field.

st. Charles Times: Some Of the

and barley. this week for hay. If this
weather continues and the chinch bugs
continue to work as lively as they have
for the past few days there will not be

The hope of the farmers for feed for
their stock was in their corn fields, but
the millions of chinch bugs that have
raided the cornfields In the past few
days. have blasted all their hopes
in that direction. The indications are
now that the corn will 60 with the wheat,
and that many farmers will be compelled
to sell their stock for what they will
bring.
